What to do about ex's family

[joflier]

I just wanted to chime in and say that I'm very sorry for this rough patch that your going through right now. I went through a divorce 3 years ago, and faced those same difficulties and emotions. Its totally normal to oscillate from tears to rage and back to tears again. It took me probably 2 years almost, to get past the anger that I felt for my ex. It just takes some time, and the anger will start to be less intense, and hit you less frequently. Its part of the healing process. Maybe try and take a week off of work if you can. Go out of town for a few days, visit old friends or some relatives. Just something that's away from your normal routine. Getting away from the usual might help to give you a little emotional boost. Stay strong. And also, ditto on the other's thoughts about not doing anything to get in touch with his mother. I'm sure she has her own emotions and opinions about the matter, and its just better to let that door stay closed. It likely won't do anything to speed up your healing process. Best wishes to you.
